PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Magomed Magomedsharipov (ranked 25198 p4p, 4616 weight class) and Kody Ruiz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Magomedsharipov has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. 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 Kody Ruiz was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
