PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Miguel Lopez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jackson Munoz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lopez comes into the arena with Vamos blaring out of the sound system. The crowd seem to be enjoying Munoz's choice of entrance music: Lil Wayne ft Drake - Right above it. 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 Jackson Munoz was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
