PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Clarence Boston (ranked 3456 p4p, 3080 weight class) and Yin Mao (ranked 267 p4p, 242 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 Yin Mao was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
