PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mieczyslaw Grabowski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dolby Dames (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dames is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Deep In The Heart Of Texas Song . 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 Dolby Dames was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
