PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Therman Goodson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eddie The Rain Man (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Goodson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The fire burns by killswitch engage. The crowd seem to be enjoying The Rain Man's choice of entrance music: Dejame Entrar. Therman Goodson is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.
