PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hugh DeMann (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ivan Karpov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Karpov has chosen Villieläin - Voittamaton as his entrance music. DeMann has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. 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 Karpov was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
