PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jackson Law (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and The Bong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bong comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Hits From The Bong by Cypress Hill 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 The Bong was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
