PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Rasmus Reedtz (ranked 1022 p4p, 2386 weight class) and Frankie Lamas (ranked 136 p4p, 299 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 Frankie Lamas was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
