PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jose Serra (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pollito Oviedo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Oviedo comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Tony Presidio kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Oviedo has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Both fighters will be looking to make this an exciting fight for the fans, I'm sure!
