PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Daniel Dumile (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Daniel Reyes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dumile's entrance music is Doomsday. A fine choice. Dumile is coming into this fight with a significant injury, which will no doubt have an effect on his cardio. Daniel Dumile had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 267.4lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. 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 Daniel Reyes was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
