PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Buzz Lightbeer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Julio Madrigal (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Madrigal has chosen Lil Jon-Throw it Up as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Julio Madrigal was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
