PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Lerba Schmeizel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shiva Red Gym (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Schmeizel comes to the cage accompanied by Zorba the Greek. Red Gym has chosen My Way 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 Shiva Red Gym was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
