PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Anurak Bualuang (ranked 753 p4p, 782 weight class) and Unang Zemin (ranked 62 p4p, 65 weight class). Zemin is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: 부모님 은혜. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
