PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Logan Hartz (ranked 4521 p4p, 2992 weight class) and Kingston Olsen (ranked 329 p4p, 250 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 Kingston Olsen was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
