PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between David Dunne (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Yoshihiro Takaya (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Dunne might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Two Steps from Hell - Heat of Courage. Takaya has chosen Jimi Hendrix - All along the Watchtower as his entrance music. 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.
