PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Daniel Speed (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Miami Vice (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Speed might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Amon Tobin / El Cargo. Vice is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: The Theme. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
