PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Akahoshi Hisashi (ranked 2873 p4p, 4076 weight class) and Albert Hofmann (ranked 368 p4p, 476 weight class). Hisashi kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Feng Shui. Hofmann has chosen The Wizard as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. The atmosphere really building for this one as we go over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
