PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Giorgio Jacques (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jean Paul Valley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Valley has chosen 2pac-Street Fame 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 Jean Paul Valley was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
