PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Jens Kylling (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andrzej Rostowski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kylling's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Agonoize - Bäng Bäng Goodbye . The crowd seem to be enjoying Rostowski's choice of entrance music: VITER - Marichka. 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 Andrzej Rostowski was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
