PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Knez Lazar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Patrik Haska (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Haska has chosen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmvDOH44y9Q 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 Patrik Haska was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
