PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Sam Salter (ranked 2613 p4p, 2658 weight class) and Guy Leblond (ranked 259 p4p, 265 weight class). Salter comes into the arena with Dead Or Alive blaring out of the sound system. 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 Guy Leblond was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
