PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Reginald Thornsby (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Zorrito Falcon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Thornsby comes into the arena with "Promenade" by the London Phil Harmonic Orchestra blaring out of the sound system. 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 Zorrito Falcon was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
