PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Daniel Spong (ranked 192 p4p, 152 weight class) and Ivan Drago (ranked 26 p4p, 21 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Drago's choice of entrance music: Drago Theme. 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 Ivan Drago was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
