PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Anthony Lalime (ranked 1152 p4p, 1523 weight class) and Ki Ruyjini (ranked 168 p4p, 233 weight class). Ruyjini has chosen 修羅の花 Shura no hana by Meiko Kaji as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
