PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Chad Fisher (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hiruku Matah (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 Hiruku Matah was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
