PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Brick Stone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Caio Almeida (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Almeida comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Blink 182 - Dammit 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 Caio Almeida was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
