PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Skip Foreplay (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shawn Dyer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Foreplay might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Hip to be Square. Dyer has chosen Viva La Vida 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.
