PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Fritzie Zivic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Trevor Reznick (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Zivic comes to the cage accompanied by La La Girl by Paffendorf. 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 Trevor Reznick was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
