PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Jaro Key (ranked 1909 p4p, 2145 weight class) and Kotetsu Yama (ranked 159 p4p, 179 weight class). Key comes into the arena with HonestKey- The Unseen blaring out of the sound system. 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 Kotetsu Yama was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
