PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Severi Turpaansaaja (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bondye Viktorye (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Turpaansaaja comes into the arena with Bulls On Parade blaring out of the sound system. Viktorye is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: O papai chego. 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 Bondye Viktorye was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
