PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bjorn Ragnarsson (ranked 732 p4p, 88 weight class) and Bong Ki Duk (ranked 8080 p4p, 638 weight class). Ki Duk has chosen north korea's national anthem 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 Bong Ki Duk was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
