PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Irus Golonka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jamar Lawal (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lawal comes into a darkened arena with his song building. E.S. Posthumus Unstoppable kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Jamar Lawal told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
