PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Steven Flarence (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hamas Ogasa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Flarence is coming into this fight with a significant injury, which will no doubt have an effect on his cardio. 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 Hamas Ogasa was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
