PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Cezare Borgia (ranked 6586 p4p, 534 weight class) and Tin Greguric (ranked 7797 p4p, 563 weight class). Greguric has chosen Dynoro & Gigi D’Agostino - In My Mind as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Tin Greguric was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
