PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Kazuo Ishikawa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Queen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ishikawa's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, The Black Dahlia Murder - Necropolis. 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?
