PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Tetsuo Shima (ranked 1315 p4p, 1715 weight class) and Martin Nejc (ranked 163 p4p, 204 weight class). Shima kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The HU - Yuve Yuve Yu. Martin Nejc has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
