PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Mauri Alavaara (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eliézer Machado (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Machado has chosen Kim Carnes - Bette Davis Eyes 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 Eliézer Machado was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
