PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Timothy Poggle (ranked 1991 p4p, 227 weight class) and Red Cup (ranked 3761 p4p, 376 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 Red Cup was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
