PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tim Augustine (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ryan Davis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Augustine's entrance music is The Stooges - I Wanna Be Your Dog. A fine choice. Davis is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: 30 Seconds to Mars - Kings and Queens. Ryan Davis told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
