PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Zen Myers (ranked 4555 p4p, 5985 weight class) and Clark Peter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 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 Clark Peter was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
