PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Lawrence Mars (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lester Green (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mars comes to the cage accompanied by Avenged Sevenfold's Nightmare. 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 Lester Green was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
