PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Liam Walker (ranked 3774 p4p, 2249 weight class) and Ricardo Rebenta (ranked 0 p4p, 0 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 Ricardo Rebenta was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
