PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Logan Ecklar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rafael Rojas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rojas has chosen Real O.G. - Conejo 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 Rafael Rojas was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
