PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Budo Rei (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and David Gilmour (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Rei might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Alice in Chains - No Excuses. Gilmour is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: i Get Knocked Down, But i Get Up Again. 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.
