PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Pierre Dawson (ranked 5306 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rodney Rodgers (ranked 3928 p4p, 405 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 Rodney Rodgers was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
