PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Cormac Maguire (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Donnie Mizrahi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Maguire's entrance music is Beastie Boys - (You've Got To) Fight For Your Right (To Party). A fine choice. 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 Donnie Mizrahi was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
