PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Zoran Miloshevich (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Leonard Washington (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Miloshevich's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Kosovskiy front. Washington is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Queen - I Want It All. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
