PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ross Barkley (ranked 1296 p4p, 131 weight class) and Sergey Korotkiy (ranked 1951 p4p, 200 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 Sergey Korotkiy was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
