PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Artemyev Valeryevich (ranked 1066 p4p, 1842 weight class) and Sean Smith (ranked 161 p4p, 273 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 Sean Smith was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
