PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Bobby Palentine (ranked 3495 p4p, 338 weight class) and Brandon Lee (ranked 4118 p4p, 392 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 Brandon Lee was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
