PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Yoshi Kenshin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Akisame Koetsuji (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Koetsuji has chosen Monster as his entrance music. Yoshi Kenshin looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
