PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ueda Umanouke (ranked 482 p4p, 65 weight class) and Buse Mann (ranked 410 p4p, 58 weight class). Umanouke kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Kenji Kawai's Making of a Cyborg. Mann has chosen For Heavy Metal we will die! as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
