Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Tatsuya Komada (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Max Pain (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Komada might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Little Busters. Pain is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Indestructible. Max Pain has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
