PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Justice Washington (ranked 1709 p4p, 1185 weight class) and Danny Vargas (ranked 186 p4p, 121 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 Danny Vargas was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
