PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Baldomir Barbosa (ranked 802 p4p, 2521 weight class) and CJ Tripp (ranked 113 p4p, 314 weight class). Barbosa comes to the cage accompanied by Unfaithful. 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 CJ Tripp was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
