PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Dresden Carmichael (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Payne Stewart Jr (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Stewart Jr is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Cam'ron - Motivation. 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 Payne Stewart Jr was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
