PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Desmond Shagowitcz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and EJ Tap (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Shagowitcz comes to the cage accompanied by I got erection - Turbo negro. Tap has chosen Pop Lock and Drop It as his entrance music. Desmond Shagowitcz looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
