PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Pedro Chora (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and James Williams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Williams has chosen Robot Rock-Daft Punk as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Pedro Chora looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
