PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Patrick Mannelly (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ice Man (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Man comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Shadow on the Sun kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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 Ice Man was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
