PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Chris Mullen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Freddy Evans (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Mullen might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Country Boy Can Survive. Evans comes into a darkened arena with his song building. "A Country Boy Can Survive" by Hank Williams Jr. kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Freddy Evans was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
