PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Hiroshimo Hiro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Akira Kurosawa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hiro kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is My Hero. Kurosawa is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by War drums. Akira Kurosawa has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
