PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Stanley Fofano (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Esko Tiutinen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fofano's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, City of Blinding Lights. Tiutinen is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Rolling Stones - Paint it black. 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 Esko Tiutinen was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
