PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between The Chi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fidalgo Brokador (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chi's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Advance On. The Chi looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
