PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Mukhammadgafur Gazimagomedov (ranked 25027 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fernando Mendes (ranked 4770 p4p, 0 weight class). Gazimagomedov has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. 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 Fernando Mendes was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
