PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Toby Fluke (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sinbad Baba (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Fluke might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Jiu Jitsu. Baba is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by King of Seven Seas. 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 Sinbad Baba was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
