PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Andy Martinez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shaquille ONeal (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Martinez's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Right or Wrong. ONeal is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Shaq Diesel By Shaq. Andy Martinez looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
