PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tito Kerr (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ruan Bly Jimmo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kerr 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 Ruan Bly Jimmo was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
