PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Kane Wade (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Koji Matsuda (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wade comes to the cage accompanied by System of a down - This cocaine make me feel like I'm on this song. Matsuda is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by 科学忍者隊ガッチャ. 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.
