PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Dave Bower (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sativa Sensei (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bower's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, When I'm With You. Sensei comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Stevie Ray - Pride and Joy kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Sativa Sensei told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
