PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Nick Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dilan Rossi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rossi is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Never Surrender by Lion. 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 Dilan Rossi was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
