PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Aydine Antona (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kazuyuki Takimoto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Antona comes to the cage accompanied by Laid to Rest by Lamb of God. Takimoto is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Instrumental. 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 Kazuyuki Takimoto was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
