PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Joan Vila (ranked 1364 p4p, 156 weight class) and Mana Festation (ranked 1207 p4p, 141 weight class). 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 Mana Festation was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
