PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Joe Exotic (ranked 85 p4p, 383 weight class) and Mickey Garcia (ranked 11 p4p, 49 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Exotic might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Joe Exotic - I Saw a Tiger. Garcia has chosen S.G. Sinnicks - St Patrick Battalion as his entrance music. This should be fireworks!
