PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tony Martin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andrey Voronkoff (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Martin might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Lost Again. The crowd seem to be enjoying Voronkoff's choice of entrance music: System of a Down-Aerials. Martin has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. 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 Andrey Voronkoff was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
