PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Oishi Yoshio (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kalam Mekhar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Yoshio kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is "Stronger" by Kanye West. Mekhar has chosen 80 Kidz - Alt A as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
