PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Third Round Romero (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ezekiel Puchowski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Puchowski has chosen Code Orange - My World 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 Ezekiel Puchowski was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
