PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Sven Verdek (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kazuo Mizakota (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mizakota has chosen Hero's Come Back!! by nobodyknows┼ 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 Kazuo Mizakota was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
