PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Zane Mason (ranked 193 p4p, 25 weight class) and Aldo O Donno (ranked 221 p4p, 27 weight class). O Donno has chosen Make Some Noise - Beastie Boys 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 Aldo O Donno was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
