PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Parvati Mellia (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marlon Worthy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Mellia might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to KMA - Pommeja. Worthy is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Drop the world. Parvati Mellia could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Marlon Worthy's chin.
