PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jirka Fukala (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Boby Lee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fukala kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Baby Bash featuring T-Pain. Lee is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Lonnie G - Sweep. 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 Boby Lee was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
