PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Zulu Chaka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sepp Maier (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chaka comes to the cage accompanied by Bohemian Rapsody. The crowd seem to be enjoying Maier's choice of entrance music: Apaga mas não bate. 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 Sepp Maier was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
