PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Bryan Larocque (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mark Renton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Larocque might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Immortal Technique- Creation & Destruction. Renton is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Underworld - Born Slippy. Mark Renton has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
