PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Marcello Sosa (ranked 38 p4p, 189 weight class) and Adim Bulb (ranked 5 p4p, 17 weight class). Sosa kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is EMOTIONALLY SCARRED. The crowd seem to be enjoying Bulb's choice of entrance music: Breaking Benjamin - Lights Out. Marcello Sosa has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
