PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kublai Congo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Johnny Jonners (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Congo comes into the arena with Genetic For Terror blaring out of the sound system. Jonners is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Don't Fear The Reaper. 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 Johnny Jonners was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
