PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Zhu Fangyu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and David Blaine (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Fangyu might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Demigod-Mindmasher. Blaine is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Ari Gold - Let's Hug It Out, BITCH. Zhu Fangyu could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to David Blaine's chin.
