PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Xiao Long Li (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Osgar MacGregor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Li kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Dragon Punch!. MacGregor has chosen Scotland The Brave (Leonidas) as his entrance music. Osgar MacGregor 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!
