PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Ferris Bueller (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Neculai Costel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bueller kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Twist And Shout. Costel has chosen Ain't No Sunshine 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 Neculai Costel was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
