PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Ford Prefect (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bryan Taylor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Prefect's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Mos Def - "Mathematics". Taylor has chosen Forever- Drake ft. Kanye, Lil Wayne, and Eminem as his entrance music. Prefect has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. Ford Prefect has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
