PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Dwight Monthouse (ranked 4601 p4p, 5360 weight class) and Kamomil Pipa (ranked 238 p4p, 257 weight class). Pipa is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: O.S.T.R - Polska Siła. 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 Kamomil Pipa was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
