PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Christopher Newton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and David Schneider (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Newton's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, She Knows. Schneider has chosen What Would David Schneider Do? 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 David Schneider was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
