PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Jose Cronos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Helio Perrera (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cronos comes to the cage accompanied by Sandstorm. 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 Helio Perrera was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
