PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dai Zexi (ranked 344 p4p, 295 weight class) and Song Turillo (ranked 56 p4p, 50 weight class). Zexi's entrance music is BRADIO-Flyers. A fine choice. 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 Song Turillo was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
