PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Hector Cabrera (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Keiji Hashimoto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cabrera's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Hector. Hashimoto has chosen Holding Out For A Hero (Japanese Version) as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Hector Cabrera could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Keiji Hashimoto's chin.
