PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Heimo Vesa (ranked 1182 p4p, 178 weight class) and Corey Smith Jr (ranked 813 p4p, 134 weight class). Smith Jr is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by You Will Know My Name. 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 Corey Smith Jr was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
