PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Fib Dibwibbler (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ephraim Baraka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Dibwibbler might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Ready to Die- Andrew WK. Baraka has chosen Loyal - Chris Brown Ft Lil Wayne & Tyga as his entrance music. Ephraim Baraka is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
