PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Juan Sebastien Veron (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dirk Diggler (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Veron might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Who - Won't Get Fooled Again. Diggler has chosen YO GOTTI - SOMEBODY WATCHIN ME as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
