Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Psycho Russell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Oscar Bartoo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Russell might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Encore Jay z and Lincoln Park. Bartoo is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Drowning Pool - Bodies. 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 Oscar Bartoo was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
