PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Bobby Bishop (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ava Noel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bishop comes into the arena with 999 - Homicide blaring out of the sound system. Noel comes into a darkened arena with his song building. A Moment kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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 Ava Noel was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
