PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Ricky Blazer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Omar Boulami (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Blazer's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, What what (in the butt). Boulami is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: The Rock - Mustapha Ibrahim. Omar Boulami has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
