PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jack Nott (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Venelin Molotov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Molotov's choice of entrance music: Razor. 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 Venelin Molotov was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
