PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Daisuke Marufuji (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Charlie Khan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Marufuji kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is DJ Krush - No More (Kemuri Productions). Khan has chosen Mama said knock you out as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Charlie Khan has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
