PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mike Tyson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jarppi Virne (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tyson comes to the cage accompanied by CAN"T BE TOUCHED. Virne has chosen Jeff van Dyck - Soldier's Chant 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 Jarppi Virne was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
