PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Eros Ramasotti (ranked 20807 p4p, 283 weight class) and Otto Geisler (ranked 2686 p4p, 57 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 Otto Geisler was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
