PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Rocky Marciano (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Karl Grossman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Marciano might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to lets dance. Grossman has chosen The Devil's Rejects as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
