PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Boris Kruger (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brian Read (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Read has chosen Animal I have become 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 Brian Read was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
