PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Joro Paveto (ranked 1618 p4p, 2033 weight class) and Robert Gomez (ranked 98 p4p, 124 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Paveto might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Imperial March. Gomez is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Don Omar - Bandolero. Both fighters look pumped up here. Let's hope this is a good fight!
