PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Nig Nig (ranked 355 p4p, 734 weight class) and Juju Baraka (ranked 57 p4p, 110 weight class). Nig comes to the cage accompanied by Psycho by Beasts of Bourbon. Baraka comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Burning Spear 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 Juju Baraka was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
