PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kenji Akiyama (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Johnnie Stalker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Akiyama's entrance music is Akiyama Theme Song (This Is My Life - Edward Maya). A fine choice. Stalker comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Keelhauled kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
