PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Caio Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gustavo Cardoso (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Silva's entrance music is Forever. A fine choice. 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 Gustavo Cardoso was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
