PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Tiko Gardeau (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sparky Jenkins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jenkins is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Burn it to the ground. 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 Sparky Jenkins was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
