PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Leopoldo Sanchez (ranked 5840 p4p, 0 weight class) and Iman Rivera (ranked 8641 p4p, 0 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 Iman Rivera was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
