PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Roy Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gustavo R Santos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). R Santos has chosen Triunfo - EMICIDA 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 Gustavo R Santos was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
