PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Brandon Longson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tyler Chapman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Longson kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Oopsy daisy chipmunk. Chapman has chosen Mc rennie as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
