PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Emilo Chavez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kevin Von Erich (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chavez's entrance music is Slipknot---Psychosocial. A fine choice. Von Erich has chosen I always feel like somebody is watching me as his entrance music. 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.
