PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mike McGuire (ranked 321 p4p, 374 weight class) and Kollaa River (ranked 49 p4p, 57 weight class). McGuire comes to the cage accompanied by Jekyll And Hyde. 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 Kollaa River was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
