PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Pertti Silsa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Max Handle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Silsa comes to the cage accompanied by Candy by Robbie Williams. Handle has chosen Right On 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 Max Handle was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
