PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Rahim Lloyd (ranked 617 p4p, 1299 weight class) and Gus Bad Man (ranked 90 p4p, 171 weight class). Lloyd's entrance music is Killing in the Name of- Rage Against The Machine. A fine choice. 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 Gus Bad Man was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
