PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight kickboxing rules bout between Ravi Vamoosh (ranked 6680 p4p, 440 weight class) and Name Less (ranked 2873 p4p, 284 weight class). Vamoosh comes to the ring accompanied by The Roaring Tiger. 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 Name Less was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
