PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Good Day (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ren Katsurou (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Day might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Hifana - Wamono. Katsurou has chosen Coheed and Cambria - Devil in Jersey City as his entrance music. Ren Katsurou is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples.
