PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Rex Tremendous Jr (ranked 4070 p4p, 4926 weight class) and Kai Leilua (ranked 494 p4p, 523 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 Kai Leilua was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
