PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Allen Iverson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Karl Saxon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Saxon's choice of entrance music: Rammstein-kokain. Karl Saxon told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
