PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Randal Stevens (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Up Loaded (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Loaded has chosen BOOOOOT!!! 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 Up Loaded was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
