PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Crowley Osbourne (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bod Zio (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Osbourne might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Mr Crowley. Zio has chosen Old Mcdonald had a farm as his entrance music. Bod Zio 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!
