PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Corey Slate (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Abraham Donowitz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Donowitz has chosen JEW FLOW as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
