PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Lauren Patton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Francisco Carreon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Carreon's choice of entrance music: bitiw by spongecola . 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 Francisco Carreon was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
