PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Renaldo Young (ranked 1259 p4p, 2726 weight class) and Danny Dawkins (ranked 172 p4p, 345 weight class). Young comes to the cage accompanied by Champagne Supernova- Oasis. Dawkins comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Harry Slash And The Slashtones - This Is Extreme kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
