PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Toby Diaby (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Leroy Jenkins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Diaby comes into the arena with Trying'da hold me down blaring out of the sound system. 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 Leroy Jenkins was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
