PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Roronoa Marimo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ivan Dyriek (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Marimo comes to the cage accompanied by Zoro's Theme. 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 Ivan Dyriek was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
