PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Antonio Nagashima (ranked 1377 p4p, 148 weight class) and Urtan Urtanson (ranked 1434 p4p, 154 weight class). Nagashima kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is O Rappa- Anjos pra Quem Tem Fe. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
