PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Corwin Anstey (ranked 771 p4p, 1806 weight class) and Masutatsu Oyama (ranked 101 p4p, 229 weight class). Anstey's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Let's hear it for the boy. 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 Masutatsu Oyama was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
