Fire FC: 10000 PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sky Scrape (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cain Slyker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Scrape might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Jark Prongo - Movin through your system. The crowd seem to be enjoying Slyker's choice of entrance music: Richard Wagner - Ride of the Valkyries. 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 Cain Slyker was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
