PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Charles Bronson (ranked 2522 p4p, 0 weight class) and Randy Curran (ranked 3817 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Bronson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Charles Bronson - Youth Attack. 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 Randy Curran was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
