BLØØDSPØRT: XV PBP Commentary

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Yamashita Kazuma (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kevin Haskins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kazuma might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Yatta!. Kevin Haskins struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 156.9lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Yamashita Kazuma has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
