PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Osiris Egyptian (ranked 158 p4p, 23 weight class) and Derek Harris (ranked 276 p4p, 39 weight class). Harris has chosen Not again - You all ready dropped? 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 Derek Harris was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
