PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Suliman Kane (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Thiraphon Jr Phuttharaksa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Phuttharaksa comes into a darkened arena with his song building. TP outro kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Suliman Kane looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
