PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jones Anderson (ranked 81 p4p, 134 weight class) and Vicente Escalante (ranked 9 p4p, 17 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 Vicente Escalante was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
