PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Tetsuo Shima (ranked 353 p4p, 979 weight class) and Jack Falcon (ranked 53 p4p, 131 weight class). Shima comes to the cage accompanied by The HU - Yuve Yuve Yu. Falcon has chosen O Retrô Ativo - Heróis do Status Quo as his entrance music.
