PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Takeo Nagasaki (ranked 1326 p4p, 68 weight class) and Nosyaj Rram (ranked 1737 p4p, 84 weight class). Nagasaki's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, You're The Voice. Rram is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Grace - You Don't Own Me ft. G-Eazy. 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 Nosyaj Rram was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
