PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Head Coach (ranked 2928 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joel Vazquez (ranked 6523 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 Joel Vazquez was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
