PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Professor F (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bett Rogers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). F comes to the cage accompanied by shortest man in world. Rogers has chosen vid of hot girl stripping as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Rogers has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
