PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Robert Lee (ranked 2224 p4p, 886 weight class) and Diamond Hand (ranked 281 p4p, 138 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 Diamond Hand was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
