PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Lugh Blackburn (ranked 1705 p4p, 204 weight class) and Angel Face (ranked 3601 p4p, 371 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Blackburn might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to When the Man Comes Down. The crowd seem to be enjoying Face's choice of entrance music: Tyga - Real Deal. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the prize buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
