PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Lukasz Wieczorek (ranked 1431 p4p, 1834 weight class) and Paul Joseph Watson (ranked 224 p4p, 288 weight class). Wieczorek's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Sabaton - Winged Hussars. Watson has chosen Anarchy in the UK as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
