PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Vim Fweigo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kris Napier (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fweigo kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Firestarter- The Prodigy. 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 Kris Napier was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
