PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Glenn Cissi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Timo Tamppooni (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tamppooni is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Revelations. 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 Timo Tamppooni was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
