PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Henrique Cardoso (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Yamashita Kazuma (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cardoso's entrance music is Stemm - Face the pain . A fine choice. The crowd seem to be enjoying Kazuma's choice of entrance music: Yatta!. Henrique Cardoso had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 157.1lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Yamashita Kazuma will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
