PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Vlad Tepez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jack McClusky (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tepez's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Dead Body Man - Insane Clown Posse. McClusky has chosen I Stand Alone as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Jack McClusky was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
