PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Sean Dickinson (ranked 1254 p4p, 4025 weight class) and Alla Pugacheva (ranked 175 p4p, 468 weight class). Dickinson's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Resurrection - Chris Travis. 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 Alla Pugacheva was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
