PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jason Goldman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Soham Roy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Goldman's entrance music is Bomb Hands -Social Code. A fine choice. 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 Soham Roy was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
