PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Bryan Larocque (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Adelard Desormeaux (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Larocque might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Immortal Technique- Creation & Destruction. Desormeaux has chosen Ça va venir découragez-vous pas as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Adelard Desormeaux has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
