PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Helio Machado (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Europha Emanuel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Machado's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Mindless Self Indulgence - Bitches. The crowd seem to be enjoying Emanuel's choice of entrance music: Jump Around - House of Pain. 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 Europha Emanuel was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
