PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Dexter Jones (ranked 2590 p4p, 25016 weight class) and Bill Skelly (ranked 339 p4p, 665 weight class). Jones comes to the cage accompanied by A History of Bad Men. 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 Bill Skelly was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
