PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Justin Cain (ranked 3252 p4p, 4160 weight class) and Muhammad Taif (ranked 0 p4p, 298 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 Muhammad Taif was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
