PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Xavier David (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Four Loko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). David's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Bring The Pain. Loko is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: marry yourdaughter. 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.
