PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rin Itoshiki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ygor Savage (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Itoshiki kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Hito toshite Jiku ga Bureteiru (SZS Mod. Rap ver.). 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.
