PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Frankie Logan (ranked 233 p4p, 545 weight class) and Sone Fujimaro (ranked 35 p4p, 71 weight class). Logan kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Evil Scotsman. Fujimaro comes into a darkened arena with his song building. 焔 (Flame) + 暁ノ糸 (Thread of Dawn) by Wagakki Band kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
