PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Damian Newman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Michal Andruszkiewicz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Newman's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Taki maly taki duzy. Andruszkiewicz is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Nine - Make Or Take feat. Smooth Da Hustler . Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
