PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Pikku Hiawatha (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hiroyuki Hanzo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hiawatha kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Gael. 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.
