PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Yef Yew (ranked 1066 p4p, 141 weight class) and Marty Robbins (ranked 1097 p4p, 146 weight class). Robbins comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Big Iron kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Marty Robbins was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
