PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ki Ruyjini (ranked 1394 p4p, 2707 weight class) and Judas Priest (ranked 199 p4p, 355 weight class). Ruyjini comes into the arena with 修羅の花 Shura no hana by Meiko Kaji blaring out of the sound system. The crowd seem to be enjoying Priest's choice of entrance music: Jiří Procházka Battle Scream. 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.
