PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Mitka Boycheck (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vartan Mamikonyan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Boycheck comes to the cage accompanied by Парус. Mamikonyan is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: True Armenian Hero. 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 Vartan Mamikonyan was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
