PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Barack Obama (ranked 403 p4p, 15 weight class) and Johnny Pearson (ranked 748 p4p, 35 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 Johnny Pearson was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
