PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Sam Miguel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hong Kong Phooey (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Phooey's choice of entrance music: Hong Kong Phooey. Miguel is coming into this fight with a significant injury, which will no doubt have an effect on his cardio. 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 Hong Kong Phooey was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
