HMFL Fight Night 32 PBP Commentary

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jacob Moonra (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Katsumi Nasu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nasu has chosen Shura no Hana as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Katsumi Nasu was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Billy Kid (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Donny Davis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon!
