PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Pierre Dubois (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tom Bowman (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 Tom Bowman was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
