PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kayden Blanchard (ranked 3994 p4p, 4710 weight class) and Micah Schneider (ranked 420 p4p, 465 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 Micah Schneider was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
