PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sam McCullen (ranked 987 p4p, 141 weight class) and Silent Bob (ranked 3781 p4p, 402 weight class). McCullen comes to the cage accompanied by The Foggy Dew. 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 Silent Bob was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
