PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Yuri Nagasaki (ranked 233 p4p, 947 weight class) and Pat Joplin (ranked 14 p4p, 56 weight class). Nagasaki's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Dead Souls - Joy Division . Joplin comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Janis Joplin - Cry Baby kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the ring.
