PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hrvoje Kovacevic (ranked 155 p4p, 338 weight class) and Killer Mike (ranked 22 p4p, 54 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 Killer Mike was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
