PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Rikuto Ryuunosuke (ranked 1578 p4p, 2418 weight class) and Ieuan Thomas (ranked 181 p4p, 262 weight class). Ryuunosuke kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is You Wa Shock. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
