PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Blue Gill (ranked 1762 p4p, 1269 weight class) and Ratchanasak Sitsongrit (ranked 159 p4p, 113 weight class). Gill comes to the cage accompanied by The Enemy - Big L. 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 Ratchanasak Sitsongrit was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
