PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tupa Halloo (ranked 668 p4p, 98 weight class) and John Smith (ranked 542 p4p, 80 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 John Smith was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
