PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Domenico Mazziotti (ranked 360 p4p, 1203 weight class) and Robin Williams (ranked 38 p4p, 148 weight class). Mazziotti comes to the cage accompanied by Welcome to the party - Pop Smoke. 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 Robin Williams was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
