PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Night Owl (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Abe Eaton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Owl comes into the arena with Dead man Gun blaring out of the sound system. The crowd seem to be enjoying Eaton's choice of entrance music: The Unforgiven by Apocalyptica . Abe Eaton 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. 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?
