PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Drandt Bavis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Roscoe Conwell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bavis kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is When I'm Gone. Conwell has chosen David Bowie ft David Guetta - Just For One Day (Heroes) as his entrance music. Drandt Bavis could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Roscoe Conwell's chin.
