PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Blade Toorop (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Benigno Aquino (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Toorop's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Rasputin. 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 Benigno Aquino was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
