PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Kaito Inuzuka (ranked 2663 p4p, 290 weight class) and Arlo Rochester (ranked 1854 p4p, 216 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Inuzuka might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to TETSUYA KOMURO - SPEED(TK CLUB MIX). The crowd seem to be enjoying Rochester's choice of entrance music: Voodoo Child- Jimi Hendrix. Arlo Rochester will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
