PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Ossilus Chiarmanda (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Matt Kuchar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chiarmanda's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Long live my homeland, my free Tajikistan!. 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 Matt Kuchar was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
