PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Rod Cheney (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Larry Davis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Davis is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Radical Businessman. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
