PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Unang Zemin (ranked 1122 p4p, 1800 weight class) and Hiroshi Gomi (ranked 96 p4p, 137 weight class). Zemin comes to the cage accompanied by 부모님 은혜. The crowd seem to be enjoying Gomi's choice of entrance music: The Only Thing They Fear is You- DOOM Eternal OST. 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?
