PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Dave Stackhouse (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Wallid Ismail (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Stackhouse's entrance music is Every Time I Die - Roman Holiday. 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 Wallid Ismail was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
