PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Road Block (ranked 1344 p4p, 58 weight class) and Dimochka Rasputin (ranked 704 p4p, 25 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Block might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Motherfucking G.I. Joe Theme.. Block has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. 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 Dimochka Rasputin was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
