AOC30 FW Pride: Final Four PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between DJ Penncil (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bill Dafoe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Penncil kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Why can't we be Friends. Dafoe has chosen Rooster as his entrance music. DJ Penncil looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Mibu Kyoshiro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Maxwell Pappin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kyoshiro might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to You're The Best Around. 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 Maxwell Pappin was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
