PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Ta Sau Yat (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Michael Shanks (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sau Yat kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is 周杰倫 - 青花瓷. Shanks has chosen Dethklok - The Cyborg Slayers as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
