PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Shinji Ikari (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ruffuss Passat (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Passat is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by looser by Beck. 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 Ruffuss Passat was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
