PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Moses Diggs (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Doug Graves (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Diggs might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to FAME. Graves has chosen Alvarez as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
