PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Alexander Orlov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Oscar Dos Santos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Orlov kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Straight Outta Compton. 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 Oscar Dos Santos was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
