PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Vinnie Longworth (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Karate Kid (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kid has chosen Kung Fu Fighting 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 Karate Kid was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
