PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Achilles God (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Isamu Minowa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). God comes into the arena with Triple Corpse Hammerblow - Children of Bodom blaring out of the sound system. The crowd seem to be enjoying Minowa's choice of entrance music: One Minute in Heaven. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
