PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between David Khinchegashvili (ranked 853 p4p, 924 weight class) and Tommy Weismuller (ranked 128 p4p, 141 weight class). Weismuller has chosen Nobody Speak as his entrance music. 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 Tommy Weismuller was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
