PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Balder Bull (ranked 2323 p4p, 245 weight class) and Damian Dudley (ranked 1601 p4p, 186 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 Damian Dudley was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
