PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Third Round Romero (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Yes Man Sanchez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sanchez has chosen The YES! Cartwheel 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 Yes Man Sanchez was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
