PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Edward Furlong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Antonio Davis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Furlong kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Say it Ain't So. Davis is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Amazing Grace by The Celtic Woman. Edward Furlong has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
