PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Antonio Davis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lee Marshall (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Davis might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Streets-Let's Push Things Foward. Marshall is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Danny Boy. Lee Marshall struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 206.0lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Lee Marshall will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
