CCF 101: Grimnir vs. Rad PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Conchito El Guapo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Georgi Barnettov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think El Guapo might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Bebot. 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 Georgi Barnettov was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
