PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Three Dog (ranked 98 p4p, 16 weight class) and Leeland Lillard (ranked 686 p4p, 112 weight class). Dog's entrance music is Fallout. A fine choice. Leeland Lillard told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
