PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Wojtek Cieniutowski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bob Jam (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Cieniutowski might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Sabaton - 40;1. The crowd seem to be enjoying Jam's choice of entrance music: Transylvania. Bob Jam is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
