PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Dave Batista (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Owen Schmitt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Schmitt comes into a darkened arena with his song building. In God We Trust - Stryper kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
