PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Krzys Zybul (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ruud De Groot (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Zybul comes to the cage accompanied by Gangstarr - Battle. 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 Ruud De Groot was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
