PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Terryn Dall (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bragi Ragnarson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dall kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Skin for Skin. Ragnarson has chosen The Pretender 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 Bragi Ragnarson was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
