PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Gilbert Hernandez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Austin Johnson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Both these guys are coming into the fight with injuries so let's see if that has a bearing on the fight. 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 Austin Johnson was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
