PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jackie Treehorn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jack Worthington (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Worthington has chosen Hand Covers Bruise- Trent Reznor 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 Jack Worthington was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
