PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Pixar Bonan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brett Davids (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Bonan might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Morbid Angel - Immortal Rites. Davids comes into a darkened arena with his song building. "Sharp Dressed Man" by ZZ Top 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.
