PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rodrigo Medeiros (ranked 4291 p4p, 5436 weight class) and Senshi Yoshikawa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Yoshikawa's choice of entrance music: Free Me by Beyond The Black. 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 Senshi Yoshikawa was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
