PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Leslie Harp (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jack Madison (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Harp might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Eternal Erection - Absolutely Free . Madison has chosen I'm in love with a stripper as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Jack Madison has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Leslie Harp's chin.
