PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Project Doom (ranked 23 p4p, 3 weight class) and Yoshihiro Asai (ranked 95 p4p, 14 weight class). Doom's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Battle Beast - Touch in the Night. 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.
