PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Dante Castillion (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bobby TupperII (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Castillion's entrance music is The Ink Spots - I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire. A fine choice. 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 Bobby TupperII was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
