PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Randy Randleman (ranked 25 p4p, 432 weight class) and Hrvoje Palmotic (ranked 4 p4p, 73 weight class). Randleman's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Bloodhound Gang - Bad Touch. Palmotic comes into a darkened arena with his song building. One day I'll be king 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 Hrvoje Palmotic was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
