PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Merrick Kane (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pay Attention (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kane comes to the cage accompanied by Blood Sugar - Pendulum. 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 Pay Attention was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
