PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Adam Baumann (ranked 1833 p4p, 187 weight class) and Kosuke Ishimura (ranked 2505 p4p, 238 weight class). Baumann comes to the cage accompanied by Bombs Over Baghdad. 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 Kosuke Ishimura was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
