Bushido 31: Rogers vs Smith PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Eric Ford (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Waleed Malik (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ford's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, For What It's Worth. Malik is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Can't Be Touched. 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 Waleed Malik was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
