PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Jesh Masilungan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ramon Martin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Masilungan comes to the cage accompanied by Heaven Hell. Martin has chosen É so pentada violenta as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Ramon Martin was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
