PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Brady Orr (ranked 23351 p4p, 21509 weight class) and Jayson Tatum (ranked 705 p4p, 659 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 Jayson Tatum was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
