PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Oschino Swift (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Masaru Hirai (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Swift kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Tupac Shakur - Never had a Friend Like Me. Both these guys are coming into the fight with injuries so let's see if that has a bearing on the fight. 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.
