PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Franz Beckenbauer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kenshiro Kasumi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Beckenbauer's entrance music is Apaga mas não bate . A fine choice. Kasumi has chosen Ai Wo Torimodose aka Song of Manliness as his entrance music. 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 Kenshiro Kasumi was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
