IGR 16 - Late vs. Roundhouse PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Busta Rhymes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marco Bjurstrom (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Bjurstrom's choice of entrance music: Bullet for my Valentine - Hand of Blood. 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 Marco Bjurstrom was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
