PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bradley Jones (ranked 5464 p4p, 5640 weight class) and Kokkoro Kirin (ranked 508 p4p, 175 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 Kokkoro Kirin was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
