PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Roy Bull (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Oscar Diaz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bull kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Black Label Society - Fire It Up. The crowd seem to be enjoying Diaz's choice of entrance music: Trick Daddy - Let's Go ft Twista & Lil Jon. Oscar Diaz has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Roy Bull's chin.
