PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dick Offenhard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jean Pierre Skogsbaer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Offenhard comes to the cage accompanied by Ghostface Killah - Daytona 500. The crowd seem to be enjoying Skogsbaer's choice of entrance music: Rough boy - ZZ Top. 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 Jean Pierre Skogsbaer was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
