PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Roy Li-Taylor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jason Pops (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 Jason Pops was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
