PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Four Loko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ivan Vasilyevich (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Loko comes into the arena with marry yourdaughter blaring out of the sound system. 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 Ivan Vasilyevich was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
