PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Lou Cabrazzi (ranked 1784 p4p, 3663 weight class) and Sam Owen (ranked 221 p4p, 420 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Cabrazzi might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Falling Under Again by Buff Justice. The crowd seem to be enjoying Owen's choice of entrance music: Feel Me Flow - Naughty by Nature. Lou Cabrazzi could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Sam Owen's chin.
