PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Ebyn Dall (ranked 768 p4p, 89 weight class) and Manuel La Bor (ranked 1181 p4p, 128 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Dall might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Under the Blood. La Bor has chosen Centuries as his entrance music. 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?
