PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Xavier David (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Clint Eastwoodie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think David might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Bring The Pain. Eastwoodie has chosen 3005 - Scars on Broadway as his entrance music. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
