PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Ron Lemieux (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andrey Tutov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lemieux comes to the cage accompanied by Sliwa. Tutov has chosen 7B - Young Winds 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 Andrey Tutov was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
