PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Hoshiko Takara (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Captain Kid (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Takara might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Heartbeats. Kid has chosen lukenback texas as his entrance music. 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.
