PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Xavier Cid (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brian Dawkins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cid kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is There's No Home for You Here. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
