PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Manus Murphy (ranked 2128 p4p, 1682 weight class) and Niko Ahonen (ranked 277 p4p, 225 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 Niko Ahonen was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
