PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Kenji Kuraba (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Naru Jarkko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Jarkko's choice of entrance music: Hawaii 78 & E ala E. 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.
