PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Odin Fredriksson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Matt Lipsky (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fredriksson comes into the arena with Manowar - Gods Of War blaring out of the sound system. The crowd seem to be enjoying Lipsky's choice of entrance music: Das Spiel Ist Aust. 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 Matt Lipsky was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
