PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Gordon Freeman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Deric Stone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Stone has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. 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 Deric Stone was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
