PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Frank Stein (ranked 105 p4p, 14 weight class) and Joost Van Buren (ranked 475 p4p, 69 weight class). Stein comes to the cage accompanied by Red - Falling Sky. 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 Joost Van Buren was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
