PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Draft Beer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eduard Limonov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Beer might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to 300 Violin Orchestra. Limonov is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: LollyPop - Танцуй, суч. Draft Beer has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
