PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kamuto Hierowato (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Thomas Stark (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hierowato's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Morning Musume - Koi no Victory. Stark is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Cmon Feel The Noise. 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.
