PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Arbi Amagov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sase Tiwari (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Amagov kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Timur Mucuraev - Anthem. Tiwari has chosen "One Blood (Feat. Junior Reid)" by The Game as his entrance music. 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 Sase Tiwari was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
