PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Stefano Dufinbeger (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Noel Tedtaotao (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dufinbeger kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Steppin Stone. Noel Tedtaotao told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
