PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Electro Stalin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Roman Zentsov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Stalin comes to the cage accompanied by Hell March. Zentsov is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by In my sight. 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 Roman Zentsov was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
