PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Nagatsuki Hideki (ranked 56 p4p, 98 weight class) and Diego Macaco (ranked 10 p4p, 17 weight class). Macaco is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Can’t Touch This. On his way into the cage it seems that Nagatsuki Hideki has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Nagatsuki Hideki seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Well Hideki has outscored his opponent in every aspect of the fight today. Only a scarily incompetent judge or two will keep him from a well deserved win... Over to the ring announcer for the scorecards.
