PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Evander Holyshit (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Llewelyn Carter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Holyshit kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is You're gonna die!. Carter has chosen Scooter - Fire 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 Llewelyn Carter was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
