PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Joseph Stevenson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rick Tapp (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Stevenson comes into the arena with Higher Ground - Red Hot Chili Peppers blaring out of the sound system. Tapp is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: "Lukin"-Pearl Jam. 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 Rick Tapp was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
