PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Noah Puckerman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Leandro Alves (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Alves is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Thin Lizzy - Angel of Death. 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 Leandro Alves was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
