PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Johnny Bronco (ranked 2193 p4p, 2103 weight class) and A. Mere Con (ranked 219 p4p, 211 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Bronco might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Horses - Daryl Braithwaite . The crowd seem to be enjoying Con's choice of entrance music: Born In The USA - Bruce Springsteen. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the prize buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
