PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Cesar Castilho (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jarppi Virne (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Virne has chosen Jeff van Dyck - Soldier's Chant as his entrance music. Cesar Castilho looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
