PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mascio Dos Santos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lobster Moonbeam (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Moonbeam has chosen white rabbit by jefferson airplane as his entrance music. 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 Lobster Moonbeam was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
