PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Mush Mouth (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tony Maggio (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Maggio has chosen Speak Softly Love as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Mush Mouth looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
