PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Orange Cassidy (ranked 1538 p4p, 2265 weight class) and Renato Oliveira (ranked 204 p4p, 294 weight class). Cassidy comes into the arena with Enter Sandman by METALLICA blaring out of the sound system. 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 Renato Oliveira was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
