PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Pithe Canthropus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Branden Wooster (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Canthropus might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Pizzaman - Trippin' On Sunshine. Wooster has chosen Jiu-Jitsu Song as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
