PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Balig Murska (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sun Kato (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Murska might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Perhosveitsi-Heikki & Lika-Aki - Aakkoset. The crowd seem to be enjoying Kato's choice of entrance music: STILL BALLIN. 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.
