PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Black Leben (ranked 366 p4p, 661 weight class) and Dakota Reis (ranked 42 p4p, 71 weight class). Leben's entrance music is Wynona's Big Brown Beaver. A fine choice. The crowd seem to be enjoying Reis's choice of entrance music: Cree Prayer Song - Young Spirit. 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?
