PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sendou Kitano (ranked 724 p4p, 68 weight class) and Arjuna Ramadan (ranked 708 p4p, 65 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kitano might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Taeko Ohnuki - 4:00 AM. Ramadan has chosen Positive Vibration as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
