PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Tyrone Bate (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Scott Sylva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sylva has chosen Bulletproof 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 Scott Sylva was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
