PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Adam Deadmarsh (ranked 1788 p4p, 215 weight class) and Sherm Davis (ranked 1801 p4p, 216 weight class). Davis has chosen Raf Rundell Ft. Show Boy - Sweet Cheeks as his entrance music. 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 Sherm Davis was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
