PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Diesel Owens (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alen Zalac (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 Alen Zalac was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
