PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Chris Mullen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Johnny Davis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mullen kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Country Boy Can Survive. Davis is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Crash by 12 Stones. 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.
