PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Colon Pointin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kuro Kumiko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Kumiko's choice of entrance music: Enter the Samurai. Colon Pointin looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
