PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Juliusz Binkowski (ranked 2938 p4p, 3602 weight class) and Re Mora (ranked 172 p4p, 204 weight class). Binkowski comes to the cage accompanied by Walkę Mamy we Krwi. Mora comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Freestyle Zampa - IDS kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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 Re Mora was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
