PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Viktor Bestarsson (ranked 223 p4p, 31 weight class) and Dominic Fortune (ranked 779 p4p, 87 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 Dominic Fortune was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
