PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rikiya Sonoda (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kshitij Singh Negi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Singh Negi is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by 2pac - Raise Up. 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 Kshitij Singh Negi was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
