PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tom Mitchell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Masaaki Kanagawa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mitchell kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Baha Men - Island Boy. Masaaki Kanagawa will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
