PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Claudio Gadelha (ranked 3143 p4p, 284 weight class) and Frankie Hollywood (ranked 2812 p4p, 270 weight class). Gadelha comes to the cage accompanied by Melle Mel - Step Off. 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 Frankie Hollywood was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
