PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Osgar MacGregor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ricky Moses (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think MacGregor might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Scotland The Brave (Leonidas). Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
