PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Joao Vitor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lee Sgt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Vitor comes to the cage accompanied by Pregador Luo - Apaga Mas Não Bate. 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 Lee Sgt was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
