PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Jose Luis Montoya Rivera (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brian Fantana (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fantana is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Many Men. 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 Brian Fantana was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
