PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Siva Tavau (ranked 3185 p4p, 348 weight class) and Bartlomiej Szymuszowski (ranked 6462 p4p, 570 weight class). Tavau's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, In the Air Tonight. Szymuszowski has chosen He's a Pirate 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 Bartlomiej Szymuszowski was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
