PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Riff Jetson (ranked 620 p4p, 69 weight class) and Misha Collins (ranked 1977 p4p, 215 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 Misha Collins was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
