PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Aquiles Romero (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Name Less (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Romero might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Scotland The Brave. 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 Name Less was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
