PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Mama Tosen (ranked 441 p4p, 788 weight class) and Marek Cervenka (ranked 43 p4p, 78 weight class). Tosen kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Mother. Marek Cervenka told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
