PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Reggie Warren (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jeffy Jefferson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Warren might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to God's gonna cut you down by Jonny Cash. Jefferson has chosen Fette's Vette as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. The crowd giving both fighters a great reception on their way into the arena. That's good to see.
