PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Travis Pinder (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Wayne Osborne (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Pinder might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Drowning Pool's Let The Bodies Hit The Floor. Osborne is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: DMX - We Right Here. Wayne Osborne has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
