PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Mark Deeney (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Salvador Dimagiba (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Deeney kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is When We Ride. 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 Salvador Dimagiba was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
