PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Donaldo Souza (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bingo Star (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Souza comes into the arena with Sex Dwarf blaring out of the sound system. Star has chosen Octopus's garden as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
