PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Bam Margera (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lucifer Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Margera might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to ILL MIND OF HOPSIN 5. The crowd seem to be enjoying Jones's choice of entrance music: Weapon of Choice. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
