PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Miroslav Drozd (ranked 378 p4p, 1112 weight class) and Ziggy Stardust (ranked 53 p4p, 120 weight class). Stardust has chosen Starman as his entrance music. 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 Ziggy Stardust was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
