PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hercules Fortier (ranked 1426 p4p, 77 weight class) and Greg Bell (ranked 2682 p4p, 135 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 Greg Bell was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
