PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Josie Marquez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Henry Cejudo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Marquez might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to the most annoying Mexican polka music you have heard in your life. Cejudo has chosen I wanna be adored. as his entrance music. Josie Marquez has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
