PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rick Langley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shinigami Hyuuku (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Langley might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to No More Heroes: Kill or Be Killed Mix. The crowd seem to be enjoying Hyuuku's choice of entrance music: In My Head. Shinigami Hyuuku told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
