PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Wayne Brady (ranked 3373 p4p, 127 weight class) and Arnold Jordan (ranked 4416 p4p, 177 weight class). Brady kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Whose Line - Best of Wayne Brady. Jordan has a pretty significant injury - he really shouldn't be fighting right now but he's a warrior and he's here none the less! Man, I cannot wait for this one!
