PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Da Jiang (ranked 157 p4p, 267 weight class) and Kado Akiyama (ranked 21 p4p, 36 weight class). 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 Kado Akiyama was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
