PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Nick Frost (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mariusz Kawa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kawa comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Nocarz kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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 Mariusz Kawa was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
