PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between David Tuppett (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Diego Santana (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Santana comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Apaga mais não bate( Jiu-jitsu ) kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! David Tuppett looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
