PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Davie Brophy (ranked 583 p4p, 62 weight class) and Sean Tallon (ranked 336 p4p, 18 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Brophy might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Pantera - Walk. 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.
