PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between HL Mencken (ranked 384 p4p, 667 weight class) and Kyle Cobra (ranked 49 p4p, 87 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 Kyle Cobra was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
