PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Roger Howlingate (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Worf Roshenko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Howlingate might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Hollywood Undead - Dead in Ditches. Roshenko has chosen QoNos Death Swell as his entrance music. Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!
