PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Apidej Sit Hirun (ranked 3211 p4p, 142 weight class) and Moses Pickart (ranked 7255 p4p, 237 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 Moses Pickart was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
