PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Chico Escuela (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Optimus Prime (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Escuela's entrance music is Wu-Tang Clan - Protect Ya Neck. A fine choice. Prime has chosen Metalingus by Alter Bridge 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 Optimus Prime was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
