PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Keiji Hashimoto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jesus Quintana (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hashimoto might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Chopin's Funeral March in B flat minor. Keiji Hashimoto could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Jesus Quintana's chin.
