PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Quentin Cane (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Koji Okano (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cane comes into the arena with Rob Zombie - What blaring out of the sound system. Okano comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Aalto - Resolution kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Quentin Cane had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 157.0lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Quentin Cane had a look across the cage there at his opponent. He definitely means business
