PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Duece Delta (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Otto Maddox (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Delta comes to the cage accompanied by the tough guy song. Maddox comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Institutionalized - Suicidal Tendencies kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Duece Delta had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.4lbs, 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. Otto Maddox is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples.
