PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Konrad Koltun (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bod Zio (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Koltun comes to the cage accompanied by Hans Solo - Dopoki jestem. Zio has chosen Old Mcdonald had a farm 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 Bod Zio was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
