PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Jack Johnson (ranked 1070 p4p, 125 weight class) and Luis Gonzales (ranked 1480 p4p, 170 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 Luis Gonzales was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
