PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Benito Camela (ranked 4477 p4p, 223 weight class) and Takashi Yoshida (ranked 7738 p4p, 353 weight class). Camela comes to the cage accompanied by NEGRAMARO - Nuvole e lenzuola. 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 Takashi Yoshida was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
