PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Leonidas Spaticus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bill Goldberg (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Spaticus's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Invaders Must Die. Goldberg has chosen GOLDBERG as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
