PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Blaise Lamont (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ozuma Obata (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lamont kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Twisted Nerve. Obata has chosen Hijack The Terrorist Group - Hijack 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.
