PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between JD Hogg (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lyoto Rua (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 Lyoto Rua was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
