PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Lombardo Limba (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Frank Pembelton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Limba might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Prodigy - Voodoo People. Pembelton has chosen Hail Mary by Tupac as his entrance music. Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!
