PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Kid Kamakazi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hans Lankari (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kamakazi kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Cooking by the book. Lankari is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by AC/DC - Thunderstruck. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
