PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Sergey Objedkov (ranked 581 p4p, 281 weight class) and Takumi Sagaki (ranked 33 p4p, 17 weight class). Sagaki comes into a darkened arena with his song building. One Piece - AMV - We Are! (Full Song) kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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 Takumi Sagaki was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
