PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Karri Vahti (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sergio Garcia (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Garcia has chosen Ensemble of the restless 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 Sergio Garcia was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
