PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Shiroi Neko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mauricio Ferreira (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Neko comes into the arena with Machine Head - Halo blaring out of the sound system. Ferreira is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Drop the World. 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 Mauricio Ferreira was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
