PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jim Jones Jr (ranked 1461 p4p, 192 weight class) and Carey Mahoney (ranked 1674 p4p, 219 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 Carey Mahoney was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
