PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Corey Nemec (ranked 1898 p4p, 3572 weight class) and Nick Jackson (ranked 274 p4p, 475 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 Nick Jackson was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
