PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Albert Vortmont (ranked 977 p4p, 4432 weight class) and Tyrell Towns (ranked 149 p4p, 465 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 Tyrell Towns was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
