PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Onishi Atsushi (ranked 3078 p4p, 2778 weight class) and Sama Katsu (ranked 320 p4p, 290 weight class). Katsu has chosen 抜刀隊 - Battotai (Metal Version) as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
