PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Lukus Haas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Troy Owens (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Haas's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Drowning Pool's Bodies. Owens has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the fighters buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
