PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Gavriil Endymion (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Samoa Rome (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Endymion might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Message. Rome has chosen Samoan Death as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
