PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Braynas Hlervu (ranked 425 p4p, 308 weight class) and Phillip Terrell (ranked 55 p4p, 40 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 Phillip Terrell was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
