PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bartolomeu Ganz (ranked 3638 p4p, 5677 weight class) and Guillaume De Smet (ranked 409 p4p, 527 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 Guillaume De Smet was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
