PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Yuvraj Singh (ranked 981 p4p, 119 weight class) and Earl Lee Grace (ranked 1453 p4p, 170 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 Earl Lee Grace was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
