PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Viktor Tsoi (ranked 7 p4p, 1 weight class) and Abraham Donowitz (ranked 15 p4p, 3 weight class). Tsoi comes to the cage accompanied by Zvezda po Imeni Solnce. Donowitz has chosen JEW FLOW as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
