PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bruce Wallakowski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lucio Rodrigues (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rodrigues has chosen Ain't no Sunshine 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 Lucio Rodrigues was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
