PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Orlando Diggs (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Travis Bickle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Diggs might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to STILL BLAZIN. Bickle comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Sex Pistols - God Save The Queen kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
