PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Tatsuya Kimura (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Julius Schoonover (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kimura's entrance music is Inner Light by Shocking Lemon. A fine choice. Schoonover is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Daylight - Matt and Kim. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
