PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Pithe Canthropus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Yo-Landi Vi$$er (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Canthropus kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Pizzaman - Trippin' On Sunshine. Vi$$er is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Enter The Ninja. This should be a great matchup!
