PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Ryo Hamada (ranked 2086 p4p, 267 weight class) and Rovi Flexner (ranked 2624 p4p, 319 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 Rovi Flexner was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
