PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Tim Price (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ula Cleo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Price might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Mistakes. Price has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. 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 Ula Cleo was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
