PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Sam Stout (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and methos lage (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Stout kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is How we do. 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 methos lage was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
