PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Adrian Sterling (ranked 1561 p4p, 1704 weight class) and Tyres Widforss (ranked 148 p4p, 163 weight class). Sterling's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Snake by Lil Keed. 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 Tyres Widforss was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
