PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Filo Bedo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Aaron Davidson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Davidson comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Regina Spektor - Après Moi kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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 Aaron Davidson was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
