PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Iso Valo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Viktor Burishkov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Burishkov's choice of entrance music: Not a step back. 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 Viktor Burishkov was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
