PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Danny Trejo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bobby Tupper Vi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Trejo's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Dire Straits- Six Blade Knife. 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 Bobby Tupper Vi was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
