PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between David Brown (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rama Chulalongkorn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Brown comes to the cage accompanied by UGK - Playas from the South. Chulalongkorn is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: "Sagat's Theme," by Takayuki Aihara. 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.
