PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Gregor Reilly (ranked 1359 p4p, 1072 weight class) and Luke Jackson (ranked 152 p4p, 115 weight class). Reilly comes to the cage accompanied by Cannonball/ The Breeders. 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 Luke Jackson was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
