PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Gaius Marius (ranked 2920 p4p, 3322 weight class) and Epo Vehikolja (ranked 0 p4p, 0 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 Epo Vehikolja was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
