PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kileki Kawike (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bud Bongwater (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kawike might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Ms. Fat Booty - Mos Def. Bongwater is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Peter Tosh - Speech about Herb. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
