PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Pedro Pedofiili (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rolf Thorkildsen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Pedofiili might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Judas Priest - Breaking The Law. Thorkildsen is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: AC/DC - Hell's Bells. Rolf Thorkildsen told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
