PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Daniel Joshua (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Armen Petrosyan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Joshua comes to the cage accompanied by Parklife- Blur. 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 Armen Petrosyan was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
