PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Pavel Sekera (ranked 2700 p4p, 3800 weight class) and Phillip Ortega (ranked 338 p4p, 446 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Sekera might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Bleed it out. 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 Phillip Ortega was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
