PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Marcos Budinha (ranked 1517 p4p, 2111 weight class) and Chu Ho Soon (ranked 84 p4p, 136 weight class). Ho Soon has chosen Carl Orff - O Fortuna 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 Chu Ho Soon was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
