PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Alphonzo Ball (ranked 23319 p4p, 20003 weight class) and Crazy Boco (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ball comes to the cage accompanied by Zo and Young Lando - Last Days. Boco is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Crazy Nights. Alphonzo Ball looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
