PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Worf Mogh (ranked 473 p4p, 447 weight class) and Kotaro Asakura (ranked 38 p4p, 37 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Mogh might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Gimme The Loot. Asakura has chosen Venom by $ B as his entrance music. Both fighters really staring each other down here, as Kotaro Asakura enters the cage!
