PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Rokken Roll (ranked 3306 p4p, 5657 weight class) and Rico Axelrod (ranked 359 p4p, 532 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 Rico Axelrod was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
