PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Ari Birmiski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joe Warren (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Birmiski comes into the arena with I'm Back - T.I blaring out of the sound system. Warren has chosen Underdog by Kasabian 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 Joe Warren was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
