PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Edu Fola (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Clint Cartwright (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Cartwright's choice of entrance music: Total Domination. 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 Clint Cartwright was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
