PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Larson Picker (ranked 1041 p4p, 126 weight class) and Morgan Wade (ranked 1279 p4p, 155 weight class). Wade has chosen The Bleeding 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 Morgan Wade was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
