PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Arshad Singh (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Crowley Osbourne (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Singh comes to the cage accompanied by Check it out. The crowd seem to be enjoying Osbourne's choice of entrance music: Mr Crowley. Arshad Singh had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 147.4lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. 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 Crowley Osbourne was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
