PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jamil Hurst (ranked 1117 p4p, 1063 weight class) and Vinicius Kicklighter (ranked 175 p4p, 161 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hurst might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Keep Their Heads Ringin'. 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 Vinicius Kicklighter was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
