PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Lamar Gordon (ranked 333 p4p, 697 weight class) and Ayinde Adeyemi (ranked 54 p4p, 101 weight class). Gordon kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Coming Home - Ditty ft. Skylar Grey. 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 Ayinde Adeyemi was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
