PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Phil Sprintin (ranked 284 p4p, 299 weight class) and Giacomo Bandolero (ranked 23 p4p, 26 weight class). Sprintin comes to the cage accompanied by Disturbed - Bad Man. Bandolero has chosen Bandolero 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 Giacomo Bandolero was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
