PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Edward Nygma (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Flint Morgan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nygma kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Eazy E - Boys In Da Hood. 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 Flint Morgan was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
