PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Bjergan Fjordfoot (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alex Zaldiar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Zaldiar has chosen EL CABRON as his entrance music. 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 Alex Zaldiar was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
