PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between pooru wakahisa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chanarong Dhanarajata (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dhanarajata has chosen Jorge Quintero as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Chanarong Dhanarajata was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
