PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bob Barker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Aon Fillman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Barker comes to the cage accompanied by Remember The Name By Fort Minor. 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 Aon Fillman was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
