PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mike Carpenter (ranked 3158 p4p, 2999 weight class) and Yowis Ben (ranked 341 p4p, 324 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 Yowis Ben was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
