PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Braylon Beswicke (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Unkind Artist (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Beswicke kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Kick in the teeth. Artist has chosen Dropkick Murphys - Johnny, I Hardly Knew Ya 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 Unkind Artist was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
