PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Brian Becker (ranked 2714 p4p, 112 weight class) and Abo Lanch (ranked 3975 p4p, 145 weight class). Lanch has chosen Down River as his entrance music. 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 Abo Lanch was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
