PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between RV Malapitan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ryoto Machida (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Machida's choice of entrance music: Bleed It Out. 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 Ryoto Machida was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
