PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Ravi Vamoosh (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kazuka Fuujin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Vamoosh comes to the cage accompanied by The Roaring Tiger. Fuujin has chosen his shirt says "bout to smack the stepchild out you" 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 Kazuka Fuujin was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
