PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Azad Naja (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dick Diablo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Diablo has chosen Motley Crue - Shout At The Devil as his entrance music. 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 Dick Diablo was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
