PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Gordon Ramsey (ranked 2296 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marko Antonio (ranked 2414 p4p, 0 weight class). Antonio has chosen Good Life as his entrance music. 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 Marko Antonio was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
