PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Fabiano Capellio (ranked 129 p4p, 207 weight class) and Anthony Ochoa (ranked 18 p4p, 31 weight class). Ochoa has chosen Gang Signs by The Game 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 Anthony Ochoa was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
