PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Nick Tartle (ranked 24477 p4p, 24628 weight class) and Rolly Blanco (ranked 548 p4p, 550 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 Rolly Blanco was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
