PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Aljosa Medeiros (ranked 1142 p4p, 2158 weight class) and Hot Water (ranked 126 p4p, 217 weight class). Medeiros comes to the cage accompanied by Sidequest - Chime. 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 Hot Water was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
