PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Auguste Grimm (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Yoshiteru Goto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Grimm comes into the arena with David Gilmour - There's No Way Out Of Here blaring out of the sound system. Goto has chosen Japanese Boy as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
