PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Frank Miiir (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Phil Davis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Davis has chosen Sick Puppies-Youre going down as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Phil Davis was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
