PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Ryu Aokison (ranked 1640 p4p, 210 weight class) and Peter Barnkvist (ranked 1381 p4p, 176 weight class). Aokison kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Caroline. 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.
