PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Alexei Chernokov (ranked 528 p4p, 63 weight class) and Sni Probong (ranked 318 p4p, 38 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Chernokov might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Disaster strikes - Mushroom cloud. Probong is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Bodhi Mandala. 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 Sni Probong was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
