PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Seelow Heights (ranked 4221 p4p, 3780 weight class) and Denis Denisov (ranked 186 p4p, 162 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 Denis Denisov was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
