PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jean Arlin (ranked 812 p4p, 287 weight class) and Lawson Serrano (ranked 99 p4p, 40 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 Lawson Serrano was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
