PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Walay Buut (ranked 23420 p4p, 23453 weight class) and Yawa Kiang (ranked 0 p4p, 0 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 Yawa Kiang was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
