C138: Bong vs. Kilgore PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tory Hopkins (ranked 1151 p4p, 2052 weight class) and Dubaku Womba (ranked 166 p4p, 295 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hopkins might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Last Time That I Checc'd by Nipsey Hussle & YG. Womba has chosen Damian Marley - Road to Zion ft. Nas as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!
