Blitz 175: Hero of Ages PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Lex Luger (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ara Vahaber (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Luger's entrance music is Real American. A fine choice. Vahaber has chosen Dr.Dre ft. Snoop Dogg - Still Dre as his entrance music. 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 Ara Vahaber was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
