PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Marco Ruas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Maynard Vega (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 Maynard Vega was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
