PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Dexter Morgan (ranked 5771 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nick Diaz (ranked 5103 p4p, 472 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 Nick Diaz was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
