PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Alexey Andreev (ranked 286 p4p, 41 weight class) and Aoki Aoki (ranked 475 p4p, 71 weight class). Aoki has chosen Baka Survivor 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 Aoki Aoki was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
