PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Fritzie Zivic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andrew Diotte (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Zivic kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is La La Girl by Paffendorf. Diotte is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Cypress Hill - I Want 2 Get High. Fritzie Zivic could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Andrew Diotte's chin.
