PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Caio Bottura (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Daniel Tinto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bottura comes into the arena with Face The Pain blaring out of the sound system. The crowd seem to be enjoying Tinto's choice of entrance music: Shell Shocked. 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 Daniel Tinto was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
