PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Diddy Mayweather (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dickie Thon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mayweather's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Jay-Z - Dirt Off Your Shoulder. 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 Dickie Thon was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
