PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between El Spico (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Reijo Ryti (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ryti has chosen Big Daddy Kane - I Get the Job Done as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Reijo Ryti was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
