PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tyrone Biggums (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fritzie Zivic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Biggums kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is ThunderStruck. Zivic is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by La La Girl by Paffendorf. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
