PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Dave Mustaine (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kanbei Shimada (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mustaine's entrance music is This Day We Fight! by Megadeth. A fine choice. Shimada is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Party and Bullshit. 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.
