PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Isamu Minowa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dirk Nappa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Minowa kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is One Minute in Heaven. Nappa has chosen battery as his entrance music. 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.
