PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Dave Gomes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Oompa Loompa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Gomes might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Roadhouse Blues. Loompa is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Faded. 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.
