PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Barrington Xavier (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Albert Kelly (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Xavier might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Loud Hangover. Kelly has chosen Fire Your Guns as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Barrington Xavier has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
