PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Dario Rocha (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Patt Magroin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rocha's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2odzHABaG6w. 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 Patt Magroin was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
