PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Corey Haim (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rafael dos Santos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Haim might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to 99 luft Balons . dos Santos comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Daft Punk - Harder Better Faster Stronger 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.
