PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between George Foreman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lobsta Mang (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mang has chosen They Try Ta Boil Me as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Lobsta Mang 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!
