PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Yoshihiro Sexyama (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pehr Erik Liljestrand (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Sexyama might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to donGURALesko - El Polako. 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 Pehr Erik Liljestrand was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
