PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Barack Obaminator (ranked 161 p4p, 210 weight class) and Wanderson Machado (ranked 21 p4p, 28 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Obaminator might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Gil Scott-Herron - The Revolution Will Not Be Televised. Machado is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: El Barrio. Barack Obaminator is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.
