Gene 37 : Golden Fleece PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kondzio Celka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Billy Bob (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Celka might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Sabaton - Birds of War. Bob has chosen Notkea rotta - Itä meidän as his entrance music. Kondzio Celka could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Billy Bob's chin.
