PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Nicolas Zerka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jonas Torsted (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Zerka comes to the cage accompanied by mc circulaire. Torsted is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Maybellene i Hofteholder. 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 Jonas Torsted was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
