PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Henrique Rosa (ranked 2317 p4p, 1242 weight class) and Tom Tomson (ranked 270 p4p, 160 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 Tom Tomson was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
