PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between SergiO Ortiz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Di Punker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ortiz comes to the cage accompanied by Hardwell - Tomorrowland Music. Punker comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Blink-182 - Heart's All Gone kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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 Di Punker was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
