PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Jari Bull (ranked 2760 p4p, 23629 weight class) and Yoshi Takano (ranked 307 p4p, 551 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 Yoshi Takano was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
