PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between London Oswalt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Maritn Boudreaux (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Oswalt kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Country Boy can Survive. Boudreaux has chosen The Prince as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
