PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Zafir Farman (ranked 346 p4p, 529 weight class) and Peter Gretel (ranked 30 p4p, 45 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 Peter Gretel was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
