PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Benjamin Belleville (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jesse Elovaara (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Belleville might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Offspring - You're Gonna Go Far, Kid . 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 Jesse Elovaara was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
