PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Alvin Kaufman (ranked 3472 p4p, 4558 weight class) and Lorenzo Baetens (ranked 0 p4p, 226 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 Lorenzo Baetens was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
