PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Rafael Kazashi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bruno Margot (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kazashi's entrance music is Enter The Ninja. A fine choice. Margot comes into a darkened arena with his song building. The lazy song kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Rafael Kazashi has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
