PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Sam Stout (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rolf Thorkildsen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Stout's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, How we do. 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 Rolf Thorkildsen was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
