PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Samuel Zoyeraus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lyoto Machida (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Machida has chosen Bleed it out - Linkin Park 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 Lyoto Machida was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
