PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Paddy Dimblett (ranked 1700 p4p, 1701 weight class) and Iago Pacheco (ranked 208 p4p, 209 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 Iago Pacheco was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
