PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Akainu Sakazuki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Leo Aldo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Aldo has chosen Rollin - Limp Bizkit as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Leo Aldo was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
