PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Andriy Voronin (ranked 550 p4p, 77 weight class) and Earl Jeffries (ranked 655 p4p, 93 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 Earl Jeffries was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
