PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Buhawi Baracael (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and MC Gusto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gusto has chosen Straight out of Locash as his entrance music. 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 MC Gusto was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
