PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Raimundo Oliveira (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Renato Sobral (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sobral has chosen captain jack sparrow 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 Renato Sobral was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
