PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Dwight Elkins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hiro Protagonist (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Elkins comes into the arena with Care Bear Countdown blaring out of the sound system. The crowd seem to be enjoying Protagonist's choice of entrance music: Teenage Bottlerocket - Bigger Than Kiss. 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 Hiro Protagonist was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
