PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Carlos Beltran (ranked 3220 p4p, 347 weight class) and Jason Mallone (ranked 3756 p4p, 388 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 Jason Mallone was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
