PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Max Schneider (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Timmy O Sullivan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Schneider might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to LMFAO - One Day. O Sullivan has chosen DropKick Murphys - Loyal to no one as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
