PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Huey Law (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Yamashita Kazuma (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Law kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Riesling & Rolling Papers. Kazuma has chosen Yatta! as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Huey Law has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
