PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Cody Myres (ranked 1942 p4p, 248 weight class) and OJ Pines (ranked 2352 p4p, 289 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 OJ Pines was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
