PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Filip Kupon (ranked 24604 p4p, 24582 weight class) and Johnny Dukes (ranked 524 p4p, 554 weight class). Dukes has chosen I saw the Light as his entrance music. 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 Johnny Dukes was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
