PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Igor Kilimov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Viktor Nova (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kilimov kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Holy Diver by Killswitch Engage. 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 Viktor Nova was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
