PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Kiyoshi Matsumoto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Junior Johns (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Matsumoto might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Carl Douglas - Kung fu fighting. Johns is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Welcome to the jungle. 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 Junior Johns was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
