PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kenshiro Kasumi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Isiah Acer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kasumi might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Ai Wo Torimodose aka Song of Manliness. Acer has chosen Mad at Gravity- Burn as his entrance music. Man, I cannot wait for this one!
