PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Shuya Nanahara (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Major Hardwood (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Nanahara might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to SAIL . Hardwood has chosen Ali Bomaye by The Game 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.
