PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Steve Young (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ryu Yamamoto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Young's entrance music is Blue Öyster Cult's Godzilla. A fine choice. Yamamoto comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Daft Punk's Robot Rock kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! We have two fighters making their debuts here, so let's see who comes out of this one with their first professional victory.
