PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jukkis Karvakorva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Oliver Fran (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Karvakorva comes to the cage accompanied by DIABLO - Icaros . 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 Oliver Fran was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
