PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Evgeniy Yurchon (ranked 1961 p4p, 1375 weight class) and Humberto Moreno (ranked 217 p4p, 165 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 Humberto Moreno was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
