PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Marcus Bergstrom (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shane Beast (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Beast's choice of entrance music: RPS - Pokonując granice feat DJ Teak. 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 Shane Beast was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
