PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Bam Margera (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shia LaBeouf (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Margera might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Clutch - The Regulator. LaBeouf has chosen Riptide as his entrance music. Bam Margera had a look across the cage there at his opponent. He definitely means business
