PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Kulma Rauta (ranked 434 p4p, 326 weight class) and Light Uhp (ranked 50 p4p, 34 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 Light Uhp was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
