PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Todd Cannon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bobby McBarz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Cannon might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Conquering- Black Moor. The crowd seem to be enjoying McBarz's choice of entrance music: Case - Touch me tease me ft. Foxy Brown and Mary J Blige. I can't wait for this one - let's get the fighter introductions out of the way and get this one started!
