PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Diego Hageman (ranked 430 p4p, 1759 weight class) and Paddy Fagan (ranked 54 p4p, 221 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 Paddy Fagan was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
