PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Meat Loaf (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Uruhara Hatake (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Loaf kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Eat My Loaf. 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.
