PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Nuclear Penguin (ranked 1263 p4p, 177 weight class) and John Titor (ranked 1125 p4p, 157 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Penguin might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Mardy Bum. Titor is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: John Titor-Going To Space. Nuclear Penguin is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.
