PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Rupeni Veitayaki (ranked 9248 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eulalio Gonzalez (ranked 4678 p4p, 0 weight class). Veitayaki's entrance music is The Cibi . A fine choice. Gonzalez is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: El Party Me Llama. 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 Eulalio Gonzalez was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
