PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Heribert Bosch (ranked 2242 p4p, 1772 weight class) and Oliver Hedman Karlsson (ranked 327 p4p, 266 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Bosch might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Oktoberfest. 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 Oliver Hedman Karlsson was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
