PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Charlie River (ranked 517 p4p, 2182 weight class) and Jaro Lalla (ranked 34 p4p, 129 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think River might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Waylon Jennings - I've Always Been Crazy. Lalla comes into a darkened arena with his song building. ЛЮБИ kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Charlie River has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
