PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jeremy Stapleton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Niten Dōraku (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Stapleton kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Stick To Your Guns - Against Them All. Dōraku has chosen Ides Of Light - Jucifer 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.
