PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Thomas Evans (ranked 2079 p4p, 2989 weight class) and Peter Wynn (ranked 286 p4p, 410 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 Peter Wynn was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
