PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tony Stark (ranked 1586 p4p, 1929 weight class) and Iso Paa (ranked 200 p4p, 242 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 Iso Paa was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
