Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Alonzo Diggs (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Grey Wolf (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tired and clearly flustered, he entered the arena late and after a little discussion it was decided that the bout should take place.
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Alonzo Diggs and Grey Wolf. Chooooooooon! I think Diggs might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Trick Daddy - In Da Wind. 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 Grey Wolf was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
