PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Leon Ardo Laks (ranked 3896 p4p, 5602 weight class) and Nelson Blanchard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 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 Nelson Blanchard was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
