PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Royler Bot (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pete Wentz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wentz has chosen Dance, Dance 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 Pete Wentz was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
