PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Andrew Diotte (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Leonard Washington (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Diotte might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Cypress Hill - I Want 2 Get High. The crowd seem to be enjoying Washington's choice of entrance music: Queen - I Want It All. Leonard Washington told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
