PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Hiro Rikishi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Frankie Edgar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rikishi comes to the cage accompanied by Kill all american Scum. Edgar comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Kick In The Door kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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 Frankie Edgar was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
