PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between John Richter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hristo Markov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Markov has chosen Gary Glitter - Hello Hello I'm Back Again 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 Hristo Markov was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
