PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Lucas The Spider (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Daniel Lopes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lopes comes into a darkened arena with his song building. UFC: Theme Song kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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 Daniel Lopes was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
