PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Estevan Martinez (ranked 2148 p4p, 2983 weight class) and Seung Ho Park (ranked 192 p4p, 263 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 Seung Ho Park was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
