PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between George Hale (ranked 750 p4p, 1944 weight class) and Daniel Belyaev (ranked 67 p4p, 166 weight class). Hale comes into the arena with Tenggar Cavalry - Lone Wolf blaring out of the sound system. 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 Daniel Belyaev was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
