PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Vyrkyx Dall (ranked 284 p4p, 12 weight class) and Diagoro Yabaisama (ranked 353 p4p, 16 weight class). Dall kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Worm. Yabaisama is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Liquid Swords. 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 Diagoro Yabaisama was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
