PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Massimo Damiani (ranked 3161 p4p, 265 weight class) and Altansarnai Shinjo (ranked 2840 p4p, 247 weight class). Shinjo has chosen DJ KATCH - The Horns 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 Altansarnai Shinjo was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
