PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Yoshida Kotaro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Arnold Rothstein (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kotaro might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Dance Yourself Clean. Rothstein is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Everyday is like Sunday - Morissey. 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 Arnold Rothstein was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
