PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Richie O Grady (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sam Snead (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think O Grady might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to (no) Self Esteem. Snead is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Trinidad James - All Gold Everything.
