PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jasper Leeuwenhoek (ranked 1812 p4p, 3265 weight class) and Loki Kvakkestad (ranked 64 p4p, 114 weight class). Kvakkestad has chosen TÆL - Sprengstoff as his entrance music. 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 Loki Kvakkestad was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
