PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Antonio Atunes (ranked 2516 p4p, 292 weight class) and Samuel Taiwo (ranked 1835 p4p, 232 weight class). Taiwo has chosen Lil Wayne - Moment 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 Samuel Taiwo was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
