PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Michael O Leary (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Taurean Johnson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). O Leary kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is I'll Be In The Sky. Johnson has chosen Lil Wayne - American Star as his entrance music. Michael O Leary has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
