PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Collin Glorious (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mark Spencer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Glorious might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Rick Ross ft Weezy - I'm a G. The crowd seem to be enjoying Spencer's choice of entrance music: Ride Of The Valkyries - Richard Wagner. This should be a great matchup!
