PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Musashimaru Koyo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Theoran Fleury (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Koyo's entrance music is "Tengoku Kara Kaminari" by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole . A fine choice. Fleury has chosen Oh Canada! 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.
