PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jiko Teodoro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pablo Casuo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Teodoro comes to the cage accompanied by furtive monologue. 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 Pablo Casuo was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
