PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Luke Anderson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chris Crocker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Crocker has chosen Britney Spears - Gimme More 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 Chris Crocker was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
