PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Pacome Thibodeaux (ranked 2374 p4p, 3190 weight class) and Master Leader (ranked 233 p4p, 306 weight class). Leader comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Champions - Kanye West (ft Travis Scott, Quavo, etc…) kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Master Leader told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
