PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Holden Caufield (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jason Young (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Caufield kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Let Me See Dat. Young has chosen me so honry as his entrance music. 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.
