PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Wammy Nunez (ranked 4524 p4p, 528 weight class) and Kofi Peel (ranked 7382 p4p, 629 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 Kofi Peel was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
