PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Timo Vesala (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Norman Osbourne (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Vesala might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Bomfunk MC's - Freestyler. Osbourne comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Hans Zimmer - I'm Goblin kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Norman Osbourne has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
