PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Roger Dawson (ranked 3011 p4p, 311 weight class) and Elijah David (ranked 4091 p4p, 406 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 Elijah David was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
