PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Johnny Garcia (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mia St John (ranked 0 p4p, 0 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 Mia St John was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
