PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Cesare Borgia (ranked 1121 p4p, 1600 weight class) and Milo Vicente (ranked 168 p4p, 229 weight class). Borgia comes to the cage accompanied by Eye Of The Tiger. 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 Milo Vicente was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
