PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Doc Thomas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vladik Fedotov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Thomas's entrance music is Lunatic Fringe by Red Ryder. A fine choice. 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 Vladik Fedotov was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
