PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Tugg Speedman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Michal Filipowicz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Filipowicz has chosen Duran Duran - The Wild Boys 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 Michal Filipowicz was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
