PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between John Wensink (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Samak Tiyapairat (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wensink comes to the cage accompanied by Momma Said Knock You Out. Tiyapairat comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Ram Muay 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 Samak Tiyapairat was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
