PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Lukasz Wieczorek (ranked 1167 p4p, 1278 weight class) and Paul Joseph Watson (ranked 160 p4p, 175 weight class). Wieczorek comes to the ring accompanied by Sabaton - Winged Hussars. Watson is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Anarchy in the UK. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
