PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Diego Sachez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and JR Powell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Powell is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Sound of Madness. 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 JR Powell was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
