PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Brian Egan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marcus Hansen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Egan might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Alice In Chains- Man In a Box. Hansen has chosen Wings of a Butterfly as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Brian Egan has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
