Kang vs Kinkeri PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Taro Mishima (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dennis Nilsson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nilsson is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Zukyun Love by Mini Moni. Mishima is coming into this fight with a significant injury, which will no doubt have an effect on his cardio. Taro Mishima had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.2lbs, 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. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Block Liddell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tatsuyo Hayate (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Liddell might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Slayer - Raining Blood. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
