PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Damien Thorne (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kalle Krook (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Thorne comes into the arena with Crazy Train blaring out of the sound system. The crowd seem to be enjoying Krook's choice of entrance music: Courage. 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 Kalle Krook was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
