PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Deano Clavet (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lawrence Cohen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Clavet comes to the cage accompanied by Y Mouillera Pu Pantoute . The crowd seem to be enjoying Cohen's choice of entrance music: Season in the Abyss. 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 Lawrence Cohen was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
