PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jean Pierre Babin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Boing Sparbot (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Babin might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to South Park - Let's Fighting Love. The crowd seem to be enjoying Sparbot's choice of entrance music: Boeing 777. Boing Sparbot has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
