PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Sone Fujimaro (ranked 362 p4p, 341 weight class) and Frankie Logan (ranked 51 p4p, 48 weight class). Fujimaro kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is 焔 (Flame) + 暁ノ糸 (Thread of Dawn) by Wagakki Band. Logan is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by The Evil Scotsman. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
