PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Black Belt Bundy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rab Rehab (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bundy comes to the cage accompanied by Violate You--Chino XL. Rehab has chosen saturday nights alright for fighting as his entrance music. 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 Rab Rehab was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
