PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Noam Chomsky (ranked 3955 p4p, 103 weight class) and Tigran Minasian (ranked 21902 p4p, 0 weight class). Chomsky kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is System Of A Down BYOB. Noam Chomsky has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
