PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Damon Stone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Billa Bong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Stone comes into the arena with One Step Closer by Linkin Park blaring out of the sound system. 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 Billa Bong was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
