PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Pluto Palhares (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and M J Shain (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Palhares comes to the cage accompanied by TOQUINHO. Shain has chosen Thunderstruck 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 M J Shain was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
