PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tommy Weismuller (ranked 276 p4p, 251 weight class) and Jimmie Vinge (ranked 39 p4p, 36 weight class). Weismuller kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Nobody Speak. 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 Jimmie Vinge was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
