PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Alexey Rykov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dennis Gavin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gavin has chosen Bisz (B.O.K) vs Arctic Monkeys - Za bardzo (video mash-up) as his entrance music. 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 Dennis Gavin was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
