PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Kimo Apolo (ranked 1459 p4p, 1030 weight class) and FanDan Django (ranked 170 p4p, 125 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 FanDan Django was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
