PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Gerald Wallace (ranked 3717 p4p, 465 weight class) and Mike Foreman (ranked 4200 p4p, 505 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 Mike Foreman was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
