PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Jaromir Jag (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ichi Yakuza (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Yakuza's choice of entrance music: The Legend of Zelda, Overworld. Ichi Yakuza told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
