PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Shin Kicker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Seppo Kova (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kova has chosen Jääkärimarssi 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 Seppo Kova was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
