PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rob Mugabe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Yourn Rotterdam (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Mugabe might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Zimbabwean National Anthem. Rotterdam has chosen avicii levels as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Rob Mugabe has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
