PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jimmy Sisphar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tony Smalls (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Smalls is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Lamb of God - Omerta. 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 Tony Smalls was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
