PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rampage Rua (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marcio Melim (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Rua might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Because I got High. 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 Marcio Melim was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
