PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Antonino Loggia (ranked 24109 p4p, 522 weight class) and Jorge Cassel (ranked 6686 p4p, 487 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Loggia might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Your Woman Has Just Been Sighted (Ring The Alarm). Jorge Cassel told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
