PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Nacho Cheese (ranked 2034 p4p, 3133 weight class) and Geovanni Maldonado (ranked 274 p4p, 373 weight class). Maldonado has chosen Acid Pauli vs Johnny Cash - I see a darkness as his entrance music. Nacho Cheese has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
