PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Lou Parisini (ranked 1554 p4p, 804 weight class) and Scooter McGraw (ranked 93 p4p, 50 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 Scooter McGraw was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
