PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rudi Roberts (ranked 23977 p4p, 5650 weight class) and Spar Bot (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 Spar Bot was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
