PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between General Taft (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gavin Myers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Taft's entrance music is "Sister Ray". A fine choice. Myers is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: "Firebreather" by Thrice. Gavin Myers is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
