PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Lee Huang (ranked 1393 p4p, 726 weight class) and Nasir Prince (ranked 128 p4p, 63 weight class). Prince has chosen Nas- N.Y. State of Mind as his entrance music. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Nasir Prince was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
