PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Soviet Remnant (ranked 565 p4p, 1209 weight class) and Teodors Ozolinsh (ranked 75 p4p, 164 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 Teodors Ozolinsh was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
