PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Anthony Camacho (ranked 3095 p4p, 2186 weight class) and Sonny Corleone Jr. (ranked 388 p4p, 287 weight class). Anthony Camacho had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.0lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. 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 Sonny Corleone Jr. was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
