PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Bartlomiej Jan (ranked 2009 p4p, 2554 weight class) and Jon Rambo (ranked 133 p4p, 153 weight class). Jan kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WJFjXtHcy4. 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 Jon Rambo was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
