PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Alvaro Henrique (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Manuel Vitorino (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Henrique's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Bate Pesadão. 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 Manuel Vitorino was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
