PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Hubert Goodwin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tony Jaa (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 Tony Jaa was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
