PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Aapo Jukola (ranked 611 p4p, 6720 weight class) and Jet Gunner (ranked 88 p4p, 642 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 Jet Gunner was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
