PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Misha Collins (ranked 1163 p4p, 118 weight class) and Derui Pake (ranked 371 p4p, 41 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Pake's choice of entrance music: Band Maid - Thrill. 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 Derui Pake was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
