PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Ligerito Jr (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Viktor Bolshakov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bolshakov comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Oy, to ne vecher kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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 Viktor Bolshakov was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
