PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Gordon Masten (ranked 1339 p4p, 3439 weight class) and Unang Zemin (ranked 129 p4p, 236 weight class). Zemin has chosen 부모님 은혜 as his entrance music. 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 Unang Zemin was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
