PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight kickboxing rules bout between Draco Nightfury (ranked 24993 p4p, 587 weight class) and Muhammad Om (ranked 6149 p4p, 490 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 Muhammad Om was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
