PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Francis Fitzpatrick (ranked 158 p4p, 22 weight class) and Barnabas Ungar (ranked 406 p4p, 52 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 Barnabas Ungar was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
