PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between T Challa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Zen Budha (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Budha is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Fight Club - Where is my Mind. 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 Zen Budha was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
