PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Dakota Bohi (ranked 878 p4p, 1052 weight class) and Long Thai (ranked 101 p4p, 126 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 Long Thai was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
