PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Bernard Edwards (ranked 2343 p4p, 2531 weight class) and Anton Krylov (ranked 304 p4p, 323 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 Anton Krylov was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
