PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Omar Little (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Carlos Medranda (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Little's entrance music is Snoop Dogg - Murder was the Case. A fine choice. Medranda has chosen Buck dich as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Carlos Medranda was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
