PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Maxwell Smart (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fabricio Valesquez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Valesquez has chosen "Ratamahatta" by Sepultura 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 Fabricio Valesquez was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
