PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Inigo Guerra (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Touko Unikeko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Guerra comes into the arena with The Beast - Tech N9ne blaring out of the sound system. Unikeko comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Gesaffelstein - Opr kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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 Touko Unikeko was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
