PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Niels van Herkelen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Divji Borec (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Borec has chosen Carl orff - o fortuna 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 Divji Borec was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
