PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Emilio Stark (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Reggie Warren (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Warren has chosen God's gonna cut you down by Jonny Cash as his entrance music. 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 Reggie Warren was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
