PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Billy Williams (ranked 1082 p4p, 987 weight class) and Naiki Nekele (ranked 165 p4p, 149 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 Naiki Nekele was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
