PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Douche Canoe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Leif Erikson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Erikson is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Into Battle by Ensiferum. 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 Leif Erikson was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
