PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Piotr Rasputin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Momoshiro Kitsune (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rasputin kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Evil Scarecrow- Robotatron. Kitsune has chosen 僕はミス・テイク~ as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
