PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Tandi House (ranked 3965 p4p, 392 weight class) and Crazy Horse (ranked 3197 p4p, 338 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 Crazy Horse was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
