PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Damian Dudley (ranked 2099 p4p, 584 weight class) and Yuri Voronov (ranked 280 p4p, 85 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 Yuri Voronov was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
