PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Liu Xan (ranked 2725 p4p, 3134 weight class) and Bayu Prasetya (ranked 223 p4p, 347 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 Bayu Prasetya was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
