PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dudley Dawson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mat McWhorter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dawson comes into the arena with Lambda Lambda Lambda Song blaring out of the sound system. McWhorter has chosen Young Buck - Pullin Me Back as his entrance music. Dudley Dawson looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
