PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Aimo Kurmottaja (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Monkey Luffy (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 Monkey Luffy was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
