PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Con Waterson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fritzie Zivic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Waterson kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Oasis - Roll With It. Zivic comes into a darkened arena with his song building. La La Girl by Paffendorf kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
