PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Raven Harris (ranked 144 p4p, 382 weight class) and Sparring John (ranked 23 p4p, 52 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 Sparring John was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
