PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Maui Wowie (ranked 1457 p4p, 187 weight class) and Piranha Chonan (ranked 1796 p4p, 227 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Wowie might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Dont bogart that joint. 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 Piranha Chonan was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
