PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Miklo Velka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jeff Lebowski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Velka comes to the cage accompanied by Cypress Hill - Insane In The Membrane. Lebowski has chosen The Man in Me 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 Jeff Lebowski was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
