Meh do we really care about this fight??
i just care to see neer get his ass kicked. i don’t like the way he was taunting danzig in his last fight.
Really – Mac Danzig was not asking for that? Holy cow Danzig is non stop with his disrespect for people, it’s about time he was taken down a notch.
Yeah i just want to watch this fight to see Neer get his a$$ kicked. Neer isn’t that good, he overrates himself.
as much as i dont care for neer i see him taking this one, although kurt will be putting alot more pressure on him than danzig did.
