PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Justin Lynch (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Charlie Parsons (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Lynch might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Culture Club - Do You Really Want To Hurt Me. Parsons has chosen Call Me The Breeze 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.
