PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Salman Yunusov (ranked 5460 p4p, 0 weight class) and Seong Hyeon Lee (ranked 5369 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Yunusov might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Autokarma - Fare, Fare Krigsmann. 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 Seong Hyeon Lee was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
